Rootbeer has many awesome qualities. However, one of his most awesome qualities is the ability to talk with anyone, anywhere, at anytime. He is extreemly social, friendly, outgoing, and inquisitive. I just love the way he can walk up to complete strangers and ask them just about anything. Now that is a great skill to have.

The picture shows how, while we were on our co-op field trip, he saw a lady painting and proceeded to converse with her about her painting. She was eager to answer any question that he had. Proudly fulfilling his inquisitive mind.
